Housekeeping Melodies.

Sing song of cleaning house
Pocket full of nails!
Four-and-twenty duSt-panS
Scrubbing- broomS and pals
When the door is opened,
Wife begins to sing
Just help me move this bureau here,
And hang this picture, won't you, dear
And tack that carpet by the door,
And stretch this one a little more,
And drive this nail, and screw this screw
And here's job 1 have for you
This closet door will never catch,
l think you'll have to fix the latch;
And oh, while you're about it. John,
l wish you'd put the cOrnice on.
And hang this curtain, when you're done
I'll hand you up the other one;
This box has got to have hinge
Before 1 can put on the fringe;
And won't you mend that broken chair?
I'd like hook put up right there,
The bureau drawer must have knob;
And here's another little job
l really hate to ask you dear
But could you fix a bracket here?"
And on it goes, when these are through,
With this and that and those to do,
Id jnfnitlL7n, and more too,
All in a merry jingle
And isn't it enough to make
A man wish he was single? (AlmOSt

BASE BALL.-An enthusiastic meet
ing was recently held at the Van Ness
House, Burlington, to make further
arrangements for the formation of a
base ball club to represent that city
in the State league. 1t was decided
to form a stock association with 200
shares Of non assessable stock, with q
par value of $40, none to be paid for
until $50 shares are sold. Each share
of stock will entitle the holder to adj
mission to all the games played on the
grounds for the season of 1887, and
as there will be at least 80 games
played, this will in itself be a large
dividend. The canvassers will circu-
late the stock book at once, as it is
necessary that the success Of the I'M
dertaking be assured as soon as pos
sible, so that good players can be pro-
cured before they have made arrange
ments with other clubs.

Six members of the Harris family

poisoned a few days ago, it is sup
posed, by a voodoo doctor named
Bonner. The doctor had used his
arts to inspire great terror for him
among the negroes, but Harris re-
fused to look upon him as a supernat-
ural being. This enraged Bonner
greatly, and he declared that what
the Harris family ate would henceforth
act as poison, and that before a new
moon should come not one of the fam
lily would be alive. Two days later
Tie Harris family eleven persons
were taken violently sick and one
after another died until six in all had
persisted. The rest of the family are
hardly likely to recover. Harris him
self became violently insane and died
in terrible contortions. AS soon as
the white people learned of the facts
Bonner was hidden by the colored
people and has not yet been found.
